Kanye West’s would’ve been Grammy Award snub stunt against Beck is still the talk of the town. Many from athletes to musicians have taken to social media and news outlets to express how disgruntled they are with Ye’s seemingly bad sportsmanship against award winners (i.e. Taylor Swift circa 2009 MTV Awards and most recently Beck). Last night (Feb 10.). New England Patriots’ cornerback Brandon Browner took to Twitter and said if he were Beck, he would’ve given Kanye a piece of his mind. Or his fists. Check out his brash tweets below:
KANYE WEST is a sucka! Everybody don’t listen to Beyoncé. Second time he tried to steal somebody shine. First time it was a 15 yr old girl

But the strong opinions didn’t stop there… Singer and songwriter, Michael McDonald, threw some less-physical metaphorical punches at Ye through an interview he did with The Dan LeBetard Show. “When Kanye gets to a point where he can actually put a couple of notes together either vocally or two bars of valid music playing an instrument, then he might have a right to criticize somebody else. Until then I think he’s just talking to hear the sound of his own voice,” McDonald said. “It’s pretty obvious what Kanye’s problem is.” Then McDonald went onto defend Beck based on his great musicianship skills, while shading others for their musical formula. “The whole kinda cut-and-paste thing is a certain kind of artform all by itself,” he continued. “I don’t know if I call it songwriting from a musician’s standpoint…Beck is obviously a consummate musician. He plays instruments, many instruments. He can make his own record without having a fleet of computer operators onboard.” Photo Credit: Getty Images
